June 2nd, 2008 at 10:44 pm

June 2nd, 2008 at 11:52 pm

Similar to Iljimae, but Iljimae is about a thief, Strongest Chil Woo is an assassin.
Assassin > Thief
June 3rd, 2008 at 10:09 am
hmmm….the description sound great………and Assassin isn’t thief -_- thief=steal assassin=kill
i believe u play game too much….even tho game is thief change job to assassin doesn’t mean they’re same meaning lmfao -_-

Similar to Iljimae in the sense of the dual jobs that are really contradictory.
In the day, both seem to hold small, insignificant jobs while at night, they are doing something great…
Both of them probably live in societies where there are lots of unjusties, corruptions & partialities, etc, & therefore, they have to resort to doing good in the dark…

Wow! Eric oppa look so cute starred in historical style…… but so sad he will enlisted in military soon……..
September 14th, 2008 at 11:51 am
this drama was HORRIBLE. absolutly HORRIBLE.
it was so cheezy and eric should stick with singing
OR if like the ‘bad guy’ role in dramas. this historical
role doesnt fit him at allllll
October 28th, 2008 at 3:59 am
I actually liked the cheesiness of it. I think they may have tried to do too much with the drama. It should have stayed campy from beginning to end because the dramatic plot just didn’t stick with me
January 4th, 2009 at 3:24 pm
i have no idea,,,,,,,,,,,,
am i so stupid????
February 5th, 2009 at 9:13 am
I love the fun & cheesiness of this fusion period drama.
The plot & story line are quite interesting and consistent from the beginning to the very end. The 2nd lead girl is so cute I actually rooting more for her & Eric than the main female lead. And Yoo Ah-In, he’s another cool assassin!
For sure you won’t be bore with this one plus the ending is very satisfying. I hate those unclear ending that keep you hanging.
You won’t be disappointed watching this one.

I just finished watching this drama. I think they got great plot, cast, and production. The story had sense, it described real social issues and injustices people suffered before.. plus their hope for change despite of being helpless and powerless. It was bloody and brutal though. x_x
What i luvd most about this period drama is that although you’ll be filled with tears and anxiety and pity for what was going on, starting from the first episode, there’s still that lighter stuff that goes around with some of the characters. So you gotta be crying and laughing at the same time!
Talking bout the cast, Eric was so c0ooL! He had great acting skills in heavy drama and comedy. This also went well with his side kicks. And his sort of rival Yoo Ah-In made me love this drama even more! yeah i liked his mysterious-cold-good-lookin-great-assasin character, which suited well in his costume. haha. A must-watch!
July 13th, 2009 at 9:35 am
I liked the cast a lot. Eric Mun has good comedic timing and shed quite a few tears, but his acting is still a bit lacking. Goo Hye Sun is very pretty here and looks tiny when Eric embraces her. Yoo Ah In is very pretty too and does a good job as a ruthless assassin.
The production is a bit lacking. This a campy fusion drama and a bit cheesy, with too many repetitive flashbacks (I guess they wanted to stretch it to 20 episodes).
Nevertheless, I saw it on a weekend and enjoyed it quite a bit even though I had decided to skip it. I thought it would be similar to Iljimae and Hong Gil Dong; and yes, there are some similarities but this one is about assassins who do not steal. HGD and Iljimae were about thieves. The plot is interesting, although there is something in common with HGD (I don’t want to mention a spoiler). This is not a serious historical drama, and you need to get through the first episodes before it starts to pick up.

totally agree. this show sound like iljimae =)
January 16th, 2010 at 4:32 am

Another Yooahin drama,i want to watch
November 26th, 2010 at 12:42 am
Hey! can anyone tell me when Yoo ah in’s character comes in? Which episode? I started to watch but as I couldn’t find yoo ah in I’m wondering whether to continue or stop……
tnx a lot….
September 23rd, 2011 at 6:52 am
(spoiler warning!)
The ending was vague but I’m going with; our three amigos/heroes, dies. And the baddies responsible for the death of many innocents, lived on. Haha… way to go forging that national pride/identity in korean youth.
Watch this if you’re bedridden and recuperating from an illness. No, don’t watch this. Watch ‘Thank You’ or ‘The Story of the First King’s Four Gods’ instead, even if you’ve already seen those.
January 30th, 2012 at 4:48 pm
Say, you got a nice blog post.Much thanks again. Want more.
March 17th, 2012 at 3:55 pm

May 12th, 2012 at 3:43 pm
Though it had been a few years movie, I just watched the movie but it was real good, and love this action movie with all the skilled actors ( the 3 Korean musketeers ). Credit to the producer for this movie and even I had seen some of the korean action movie, I really love this movie and a real mysterious and exciting movie all the way. Those who have not watched, should watched , you won’t regret..excellent to me…
